Synchronize NI 9514 with NI 9401 for digital output

Hi,
I need to write a code to trigger a laser for a PIV system. I'm using the NI 9514 with an AKD Drive to control a servo. I need to send a +5V signal to trigger the laser at a specific angle of rotation of the motor (This is repeated for every turn of the rotor). I also have the NI 9401 DIO. Any idea/example of how to do this will be much appreciate. I'm using the scan mode for the NI 9514, my system is a CRio 9022 with 9114 Chassis.
Thanks a lot!

I believe the Periodic Position Compare Example is what you are looking for. The description states that it "shows how to use the position compare output to generate an output signal at a regular period".
You can find it by going to Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> Motion Control >> NI SoftMotion >> Properties and Methods >> Advanced.

Audigy 2 value where is the option for digital output? Help

i have the creative inspire 5700 and the audigy 2 value but i cant find the checkbox for "digital output only"
where can i find it's Pls help me !!!

That is not the problem however it is located in the speaker setup window and all it does is disable the line outs, digital is always turned on and cannot be turned off. I suggest you re-read the 5700 manual. Tell me which lights you have on.

How to read back the output state for digital output or anlog output ?

I use NI-pci 6221(68PIN) Accquistion card to do measurmet,after i do digital output ,or anlog output ,I find that the output will be maitained by the card.even after i exit my accquistion program.But if i reset the card ,the ouptut also will be reset.
Now if i don't reset the card ,how can i read back the output state,?

Hi Mike,
There is no way for you to internally route an analog output to an analog input. The only solution is to physically connect the two lines together with a wire.
I came to this conclusion through the following steps:
1- Start MAX and select the DAQmx device under "Devices and Interfaces>>NI-DAQmx Devices" that you want to internally route signals through.
2- Click on the "Device Routes" tab on the bottom of the right hand window (It defaults to the "Attributes" tab)
3- Line up the Source with the Destination to see if the connection can be internally routed (either direct or indirect)
I came to the above conclusion by following these steps for a PCI-6251 DAQ device (the analog output & input do not exist in the "Device Routes" tab therefore they do not support internal routing), but you should verify this for your specific hardware. Let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.

1820M digital inputs don't work with cable box, receiver digital outputs?

I just installed an 1820M on an XP-Pro machine (AMD 3800+ X2). Downloaded the optical and coax loopback tests and they work fine. But I can't get it to take digital input from either my Comcast HD-DVR or my Denon AVR-1907 receiver. I know the Comcast DVR digital outputs work - they worked with my receiver and with my old Logitech 5300s.
I've tried everything I can think of:
- take external sync from S/PDIF
- set the optical to ADAT so it doesn't mess up the coax s/pdif input
This seems like such an obvious application. Has anyone gotten it to work?
Thanks

This is my point - the currently active channel does not produce sound through its multiple outputs unless Logic is playing.
So, for example, if I am auditioning different drum grooves from RMX through the multiple outputs (for the purpose of putting effects/processors on the outputs in Logic) this only works when Logic is playing.
Or if, in BFD, I have the direct Snare coming out of one output into an aux, and then a direct Kick coming out and output into another aux, I cannot hear them unless Logic is playing - I can only hear the ambient mic's as these are mapped to Outputs 1-2 which are the initial track you set the multiple output AU up on.
If none of this is something you tend to do, I guess it's hard to understand!
Thanks,
Alex.

Trouble specifying TTL for digital outputs from PCI-6221

Hi!
I'm trying to generate TTL output signals using a PCI-6221 daq board - within Labview, I'm using DaqMx to create two digital waveforms and then write these. When I plug in an oscilloscope, the shapes/frequencies of the signals are correct, but the lower value is 0V, and the higher value is 1V, rather than the TTL values. Is there a way to specify these voltage levels to TTL within the software? I see from NI help that "do.logicfamily" exists to specify TLL, but when I add a property node and connect it to the channels, I do not see Logic Family as an option under "digital output." Let me know if you have any ideas!
Thank you,
Emily

Set your oscilloscope to use 1MOhm impedence. Your problem is that the maximum current for those DIO is 24mA. 1V/50 Ohms = 20mA. So you are current limiting the digital outputs. If you need more current, then you need to add in some digital buffer chips that can output more current.

How to output square wave with pci 6110 from digital output

and the frequency of the wave should be variable and quite precise.

"from digital output" is not possible if
your timing req's are less than a second
and
you are not running Real-Time.
It can be done from the analog output port.

No 5.1 sound for digital output

My past mobo (asus) die, so I replaced with a 760GM-P23. I have a LG home theater with S/PDIF input and before I was able to watch my riped movies with 5.1 bypass sound. I get a S/PDIF bracket for this mobo and upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. I only have stereo sound over S/PDIF. I installed latest realtek drivers and the configure button (speakers) is greyed. The Realtek Audio Manager doesn't show me any settings for speakers on the digital interface. Is this a motherboard issue ? a driver issue ? as I said, it Works just fine in my previous build... What can I do ?

Robbo69,
Unfortunately the GD580's were aimed specifically at the console gaming community and not at PC audio. That is why it does not have 5. analog inputs on the decoder box. Are you still able to return the speakers? If so I have a combination of speaker set and decoder box that will improve both the speaker quality and your abilities all the while keeping the cost fairly close to the retail cost of the GD580's. If you return the GD580's in exchange for a set to T5400 - http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&product=5077
and a DDTS-00 - http://us.creative.com/products/prod...6&product=9468
You will gain almost double the wattage of the GD580's plus the ability to connect a 6. or 7. speaker system to the DDTS-00 at a later date. The current retails put this at about $30 dollars more...much less that what an Audigy 2 ZS would cost (although that is also worth considering).
That Audigy 2 ZS does not contain a real time AC3 encoder as right now there are factors with these kinds of encoders that make it a poor match with a high quality sound card (the real time encoding process is lossy and can severely limit the audio quality of the bit stream. With onboard cards this is not as large a problem since the source signal is of a lower quality).

ITunes and Audio Midi settings for digital output sampling frequency

Most of my music is sampled at the CD standard of 44.1 kHz, but some is 48 kHz.
I have Audio Midi set to output 48 kHz with 24-bit depth.
I've been told that to avoid having iTunes up-sample when playing 44.1 kHz music, that I need to quit iTunes, manually reset the setting in Audio Midi to the lower, matching, number, and then re-start iTunes.
This strikes me as odd. Is it true? If so, is there any less cumbersome way to deal with this?

Wheat I agree entirely with your last sentiments.
I had a similar problem to 'Luckydog'.
I have a Roland HP3 digital piano which itself is a standalone musical instrument (synthesiser if you like) but also has midi in/out and audio in/out.
I made the mistake of connecting my Mac PBG4/GB2 setup to my HP3 via the Edirol UM2 USB interface, expecting to hear my piano's sounds recorded in GB2. Of course GB2 did not record anything when I selected real instrument track beacuse the Roland, I think, was sending audio not midi data to GB2. What I have since realised is that to record a real instrument whether it be a digital piano (or acoustic piano via microphone) is to set the GB2 input to audio and feed the signal from the Roland via its audio outputs to my Mac via audio interface. (I have a USB Grifin iMic).
Of course I could use the Roland purely as a midi controler and select a software instrument track in GB2, but I also have a Radium 49 simple midi controller keyboard for that.
One thing that does puzzle me though is, that if I hook up my Roland via the UM2 to a WindowsXP laptop running an app. called Cakewalk Music Creator, the Roland sounds are recorded in the timeline and can be viewed, edited and printed as conventional music scores(great for composers!!) Also the Roland track recorded in CMC can be played back through the Roland's on-board sound generator.
In this scenario there is no audio feed between the Roland and the PC only two way midi via the UM2 USB/midi interface.
This is seems to be a fundamental difference between GB2 and the Cakewalk product. Can you explain what's going on hear Wheat?.
Sorrry such a long post !!

Need help in formatting a number field with same precision for excel output

I am trying to get the same preciision for a field in RTF template when the output is in EXCEL
i.e. same number of digits after decimal. So, I would like to show 150 as 150.00 and 123.2 as 123.20 etc !! Is there a way to do it. the Built in formatting will not display 150.00 for 150 . but if i add $ symbol it will display. But i dont need $ syambol. please help.

I found this on one of the forum questions.
Excel dont preserve the trailing zeros.
try opening the xcel and type 5.0000 and tab out, it wont preserve the trailing zeros after decimal.
try finding out how to disable the option in excel. if you do that, you will see what you send out from the report.
But you can try to convert the number into a text by trying to append a space at the beginning. See if that would work.
Thanks

Help required with Access Sequence for 'Delivery output' of Scheduling note

Dear Gurus
I need help with creation of an Access Sequence.
I have created an access sequence for sales org and customer, where the communication is emailed or faxed to the CR party- Forwarding agent.
BUT - some customers have more than 1 forwarding agent in their masterdata, and not all forwarding agents are wanting to receive fax/email, so if a condition record exists it will always try to send via the method set up against the customer.
I need to create an access sequence which looks at the customer/ Forwarding agent combination, - I have created new condition tables and Access sequences to include Vendor, - but when i create delivery notes, - this is not working, - it is not recognising the access sequence at all, the vendor party/haulier is not being recognised at all- I keep getting access not made, Initialised field'
Please advise how i can get the customer/Forwarding agent scenario to work
Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
The field SPDNR can not be entered directly in the feild catalog list.
First it has to be included in the list through inculde or user exit......
SPRO->Sales and Distribution>System Modifications->Create New Fields (Using Condition Technique)-->New Fields For Output Control---> Use INCLUDE for new fields in Dictionary (messages) or Use user exit for new fields (messages)
You ask your ABAP consultant to do this then it will be available in the field catalog list then u can select in the condition table then into access sequence and so on...
Kindly Reward points if usefull.
Regards

Binary Indicator for Digital Output Device

This probably simple question to most of people but there is always a first time to do a new thing/thing that we never have done.
I have NI 9472 which is a digital sourcing device, I have no problem to control it using LABView to output the result (line 00000000). I also would like to have some indication on the computer screen using LED array. I am able to create an binary array indicator but fail to connect the decimal input to the binary array.
Please help/provide some hints, it is appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm with Dennis. Just use a numeric indicator. Set the representation to U8. Right-click on it and select Visible->Radix. Right-click again and choose Display Format. Choose the Advanced editing mode and put in %08b. The result will give you an indicator like this.

How do I get PremierePro CS6 to talk with Blackmagic card for HDMI output?

I recently upgraded my MacPro from CS5 to CS6. I primarily work with Premiere Pro but also with PhotoShop and Sound Booth. Previousely, my HDMI monitor worked with CS5 but the playback settings in CS6 only had the Adobe Default Player as an option and it would not show the Blackmagic card as an option. I upgraded my Blackmagic software to the most recent version (9.7) but that didn't work either. After the Blackmagic upgrade the HDMI signal in the CS5 PremierePro version (still installed and in use) ceased to operate. Subsequently, the MacOS was also upgraded from 10.7.5 to 10.8.3 but no change in outcome. I have checked all mechanical connections.
My platform specs are:
MacPro (Early 2009)
OS 10.8.3
Processor: 2x2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
Memory: 12 BG, 1066 MHz DDR3
Dual screen Apple display
Blackmagic output settings (9.7) : All Video, 4 Analog Audio & 2AES/EBU (NTSC)
My question is how do I get PremierePro to talk with the Blackmagic card?
Phil

Hi Phil,
What Blackmagic card do you have?
There is a known bug with the Intensity cards and Blackmagic driver 9.7 where it does not output HD, only SD This should be resolved soon.
In the meantime, if you have a Intensity card you can go back to desktop version 9.6.8.
Best,

Cable for digital output on airport express?

what cable do I need to use the digital optical output on airport express? Can I use it to feed a DAC upsampling converter such as the DACMAgic? Thanks

Hello
I have just set up this as described.
I've noticed though that on the Dacmagic, the incoming sample rate, when connected via the Mini Toslink adapter to a Airport express is 44.1 - where as if I connect the Dacmagic directly to my Mac via USB, it jumps to 96.
Why is that and is it likely to affect the sound quality? Haven't had a chance to do a side by side comparison yet.
